Undeploy/deploy WAR clears out files in symlink? 2006-04-03 - By Michael Atlas
Back
Hello,
I currently deploy my JSP application via the ant WAR tasks to my
production server.
After it gets deployed, I have a directory that needs to be a symlink on
the server:
/opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/userfiles/specialfiles -> /specialfiles
I make this symlink in my ant script after deploying to the production
server.
THE PROBLEM:
When I run the "undeploy" task (which hits the "manager" servlet), the
entire application
directory for myapp gets cleared - recursively. That means that all
files in the
/specialfiles/* directory get deleted as well.
The symlink should have been deleted, not everything within the
directory for what it pointed to.
MY CURRENT WORKAROUND:
Before re-deploying, I remove the symlink in my ant script, then
undeploy and deploy, then re-create the symlink.
QUESTION:
Is there a better way to do this? Can I prevent Tomcat manager
application from recursively deleting files within a symlink directory?
Thanks,
Mike
